A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the
